Cuando el deporte en Cuba empezó a perder reconocimiento, muchos perdieron la motivación. No había premios. No había fama. No había incentivos reales por ganar.

Ahí fue cuando tomó una decisión distinta: dejar de hacerlo por aplausos y empezar a hacerlo por convicción propia.

A los 15 años cambió su estilo de vida hacia el fisicoculturismo y construyó su propio gimnasio en el patio de su casa. Hierro rústico. Sin techo. Piso de tierra. Sin máquinas modernas. Sin suplementos. Sin proteína suficiente. Solo arroz, frijoles, malanga, boniato… lo que apareciera.

En un contexto donde la nutrición era limitada y la escasez era normal, desarrolló disciplina pura. Constancia diaria. Sin excusas. Sin espectadores. Sin validación externa.

Eso es lo que realmente forma una mentalidad fuerte: hacer el trabajo cuando nadie te está mirando y cuando el entorno no te favorece.

Empezar levantamiento de pesas olímpico a los ocho años no es un juego. Es una formación de carácter a fuego.

Crecer en un pueblo pequeño en Cuba, bajo la guía de un entrenador que exigía disciplina absoluta, no faltar un día, no distracciones, no noviazgos, no excusas, marca tu identidad para siempre. No era solo entrenamiento físico. Era control mental. Era enfoque total en una meta.

Ese tipo de formación puede sentirse extrema. Puede incluso rozar lo rígido o lo narcisista. Pero también construye algo difícil de romper: constancia, resistencia, tolerancia al dolor y una obsesión sana (o a veces no tan sana) por cumplir objetivos.

La disciplina temprana deja huellas profundas. Parte de tu carácter nace ahí. La pregunta es qué haces después con esa base: ¿te limita o la transformas en una herramienta consciente para tus sueños?

Pain Vs Suffering

02/10/2026

There’s a moment many driven people reach where effort stops working the way it used to. The hustle is still there. The discipline is still there. But the peace is gone.

In this conversation on the Faith and Growth Podcast, we sit down with Alex Pardo to talk about what happens when success is no longer enough and faith can’t stay compartmentalized.

Alex shares honestly about being a builder, a fast decision-maker, someone who’s always been willing to jump and figure it out later. That mindset helped him grow businesses, create impact, and provide for his family. But it also led to a quiet misalignment: God was present in his life, but not fully invited into his business decisions.

What unfolds is not a story of burnout, failure, or crisis, but of awareness. Of realizing that peace isn’t the reward at the end of success. Peace is the strategy. That slowing down isn’t quitting. It’s learning to listen. And that surrender doesn’t shrink your vision, it clarifies it.

This episode is for the person who loves God and ambition. Who wants to build, lead, provide, and serve without feeling like they’re constantly pushing uphill.

"Can you fix my spouse?"
I hear it all the time in couples therapy.
But here’s the truth: you have to do the work. Both of you. 💔➡️💪🏽

We all want deep, fulfilling relationships—but many of us hope someone else will change so we don’t have to.
Real love requires real work. And yes… that often means facing pain, discomfort, and growth.

But the best relationships?
They’re built—not found.
They’re earned—not handed to you.
They’re healed—not avoided.

If you want the best, be willing to become your best. 💛

Are you a “free bagel” person… or a “look at the line” person? 🥯

I once heard Simon Sinek share this story, and it stuck with me:
At the end of a 5K, he saw free bagels. His friend saw a long line.

Same opportunity.
Different focus.

And it made me ask:
👉🏽 Do I focus on what I want?
Or do I focus on what’s in the way?

Sometimes we miss the blessing not because it’s unavailable—
but because we’re too focused on the resistance.

Today, choose to fix your eyes on the bagel, not the line.
Because what you focus on, grows. 💫

If you tell your mind you can’t… it will believe you.
But if you tell your mind you CAN… it will believe that too.

This is why I affirm daily.
Not because everything is perfect — but because I’m committed to speaking the life I want to live into existence.

Your words are powerful.
Choose them wisely.
Choose them intentionally.
Choose them for your future.

A veces la gente te pone un apodo por cómo te ve por fuera: “potente”, “explosivo”, “natural”… pero lo que sostiene de verdad a una persona no es el personaje: es la disciplina que construyó cuando nadie estaba mirando.

En este pedacito él habla de empezar en el deporte a los 8 años, de un entrenador que fue figura de padre, y de esa mentalidad de perseguir un sueño con constancia. Y luego viene la parte que muchos no entienden hasta que la viven: emigrar, llegar a un lugar donde nadie te conoce, y tener que empezar desde cero… con fe, con carácter, y con la decisión de no achicarse.

Esa mezcla de entrenamiento + identidad + Dios presente es lo que cambia todo: no porque la vida se vuelva fácil, sino porque ya no caminas con miedo.
